SCREW-CAP NOZZLE FDR CANS.

To all whom it may concern: lle it known that I, SWAN TEVANDER, a citizen of the United States, residing in To ledo, in the county of Lucas and State of g cient and durable construction, having a nozzle cap piece ada ted to be soldered orl otherwise secured to t ie can head at the cap opening therein, and furnished with a valve seat and pouring lip, and in which it will not `be necessary to entirely remove the screw plug from thenozzle cap piece in orderto from the nozzle cap piece for filling pu oses.

My invention conslsts 1n the nove construction of parts and devices and in the l novel combinations of .Z

arts and devices herein shown and descri ed by which this object orresult is practically accomplished, In the accompanying drawing forrnin a part of this specification, Figure 1 is'a p an view of a screw cap pouring nozzle can embodying my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are detail sections on lines 2-2 and 3 3 respectively of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail plan view of the nozzle with the screw plug re moved.

. ln the drawing, 1 represents a can having its upper head 2 furnished with a cap opening 3 and cap seat 4 surrounding said opening.

5 is the cap ieee or shell of the nozzle having an integra annular flange 6 soldered or otherwise secured to the cap seat 4 of the top lidad 2 of the can surrounding the opening therein. The annular flange `6 is also furnished with an annular valve seat 7. The nozzle cap or shell 5 is further furnished with an integral pouring lip 8 and with a marginal rim or flange 9 at its upper edge. The nozzle cap or shell 5 carries at its upper part a screwslecve x10 having a rim or ange 11 at its up er end which is clenched or folded over t 1e flange or riin 9 of the nozzle ca or shell 5 at'its extreme outer edge 12. lie fiange 11 of the screw shell 10 extends across or bridges the pouring li 8 of the nozzle cap 5. The nozzle cap 5 an screw sleeve 10 are kthus rigidly and firmly secured together so 'Specification of Letters Patent. y Application leu June 3,V
